NHTSA Complaint #11011232 — 2012 HONDA FIT

WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, MY CAR RADIO WILL TURN OFF AND MY POWER STEERING WILL STOP WORKING. IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTS WORKING AGAIN (BOTH RADIO AND POWER STEERING), SO I CANNOT IDENTIFY IF ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE AFFECTED. IT APPEARS THAT THE LIGHTS AND BLINKERS ARE WORKING AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, BUT I CAN NOT SAY THAT FOR SURE. STOPPING THE CAR AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, BUT IT CAN REOCCUR AT ANY TIME. I HAVE COUNTED IT OCCURRING 12 TIMES DRIVING 3/4 MILE AT SPEEDS OF 25 MILES PER HOUR. I TYPICALLY EXPERIENCE IT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE CAR HAS 57,000 MILES AND GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP REGULARLY FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.
